Dong-geun Joo is working on a new project called Adonai, according to comments he made after appearing at a Korean Culture Center Los Angeles event on September 11, 2026. He continues to treat the Netflix live-action version of his webtoon All of Us Are Dead as a separate work from his original comic.
Dong-geun Joo is the creator of the webtoon All of Us Are Dead and is currently working on a new project called Adonai. Joo attended the opening of the K-Comics Origin Los Angeles exhibition on September 11, 2026, at the Korean Culture Center Los Angeles. The exhibition, which runs from September 11 to October 17, is hosted by the Korean Culture Center Los Angeles and the Korea Creative Content Agency. It covers the move of Korean comics into the webtoon format and features All of Us Are Dead alongside Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and Solo Leveling, with installations and interactive kiosks.
In a later interview with Anime News Network, Joo described how he approached the source material. He said he deliberately avoided The Walking Dead while drawing the series and stayed out of the Netflix adaptation. He treats the live-action version as a separate work and left director Jae-kyoo Lee to reinterpret the webtoon as he saw fit. The two stories together mark the exhibition appearance and the subsequent interview as the main recent developments for Joo. The exhibition placed webtoon properties alongside their live-action, animation, and game adaptations, and Joo's own comments went further by separating his original from the Netflix series. No further projects or release details for Adonai were given in either story.
